HIGH PRESSURE BEHAVIOR OF KCl: STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES
The high pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of KC1 is studied with use of the density functional pseudopotential method within local-density approximation. Atzero pressure, the rocksalt phase is found to be lower in energy than CsCl structure. However, we predict a phase transition into CsCI structure at a pressure of about 1.5 GPa. The calculated ground state pro...
متن کاملun 2 00 4 Valence and magnetic instabilities in Sm compounds at high pressures
We report on the study of the response to high pressures of the electronic and magnetic properties of several Sm-based compounds, which span at ambient pressure the whole range of stable charge states between the divalent and the trivalent. Our nuclear forward scattering of synchrotron radiation and specific heat investigations show that in both golden SmS and SmB 6 the pressure-induced insulat...
متن کاملMAGNETIC COLLAPSE AND THE BEHAVIOR OF TRANSITION METAL OXIDES: FeO AT HIGH PRESSURES
Linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) results are presented for FeO at high pressures using the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) to study the high-spin low-spin transition previously predicted by LAPW with the Local Density Approximation (LDA) and Linear Muffin Tin Orbital (LMTO-ASA) methods within the GGA. We find a first-order transition at a pressure of about 105 GPa for the cubic l...
متن کاملHydrogen at megabar pressures and the importance of ortho–para concentration
Hydrogen and its isotopes are discussed, showing the known phase diagrams at high pressures, with emphasis on efforts to observe the insulator–metal transitions. The role that the ortho–para concentration has played in the challenging effort to produce metallic hydrogen is discussed, showing recent NMR results on the determination of the conversion rate constant, important for knowing the state...
متن کاملSuperconducting Tc and Electron-Phonon Coupling in Nb to 132 GPa: Magnetic Susceptibility at Megabar Pressures
We have measured superconducting Tc using a highly sensitive magnetic susceptibility technique to megabar pressures s.100 GPad. We observed anomalies in TcsPd for Nb at 5–6 GPa and 60–70 GPa, at which pressure Tc increases by 0.7 K and decreases by about 1 K, respectively. In contrast, Tc in Ta remains nearly constant up to 45 GPa. We suggest that the anomalies in Nb arise from stresssensitive ...
